AKA One Way Ticket to Hell

Pert and pretty high school teen Cassandra Leigh (Barbara Marks) opts for the easy life of a pot-smoking biker in order to avoid the demands of her neurotic career mom (Lucille Price).
When Cassandra's grades slip and her college plans fall by the wayside, she marries a love-smitten high school swain (Robert Norman).
The devotion of her husband bores the young bride: she looks up her old thrill-seeking buddies and splits from home.

Subject: It's funny, cause it's true...
...not true like in "true story", but generally speaking, that's about how addiction happens, and how it goes (been there done that). Yes, it's rather silly at times, but the meat of it is still worth hearing. "Gather round kids!!"

And yes, no self-disrespecting junky would leave the dope in the car and wander into the desert!!
(and after a few hours of kicking in a 107 degree cave, I sure as S#!t would have gone BACK for the drugs!!

It's both funny and sad that addiction is STILL being treated as if it were a mental illness, though its recognition as a (self-inflicted medical condition is gaining more favor.

This was really quite entertaining though delivered in that simlple, low budget, Dragnetty style. They eliminated the possibility of any bad acting by telling the whole story through the "Joe Friday narration method"- most clever!

I really wanted to believe it was shot in L.A. but I couln't quite nail any landmarks down (anyone???)and the desert sure looked to me like Joshua Tree or Palm Desert, which would jive with the California statistics the show at the end.

Great 50's "c" movie, but if you're a junkie, you ain't gonna run off into the desert & leave your stash in the glove box. Other than a few idiocies like that, most enjoyable for what it is.

Okay guys, when we go through the desert, trying to cover a large area, atempting to find someone whose probably going to succumb to dehydration, lets make sure we a) Travel together 18 inches apart in one tight group and b) make sure none of us carries any water. I don't have any idea where we can find any of them canteen thingies...

The film's original title was ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL, but it was retitled TEENAGE DEVIL DOLLS for VHS release in the late 80s or early 90s. TEENAGE DEVIL DOLLS is therefore a phony title apparently made-up by Johnny Legend. The film is now also available on DVD from Legend.

ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL was made in 1955 by the then-husband of actress Anne Francis, probably around the same time she was in front of the cameras for FORBIDDEN PLANET. One of the more interesting things about this film is the MOS shooting style and voiceover narration, which I like quite a bit.

I actually enjoyed this movie. I agree pretty much with what creepylibrarian has to say. Very Dragnety. Especially liked the psycho-social analysis by the narrator in the first act. Very much like what we here today, and just as useless.

I downloaded the DivX file, which is actually an AVI. Video was adequate. Audio was good.

Subject: .avi file sound quality...
sound was very 'scratchy' in the beginning, but seemed to clear up after a bit. Good movie!
